Amazon announced it will expand its drone delivery service to nearly 500 suburban cities across the US by the end of the year, aiming to deliver lightweight packages (up to 5 pounds) within 30 minutes. This expansion intensifies competition with Walmart, which also uses drones alongside drivers. Despite challenges like regulatory hurdles and delivery limitations, Amazon expects drones to serve 30 million customers and deliver half a billion packages by 2030. The service will be free for Prime members on orders over $50, with fees for smaller or non-member orders.
